Uniting teams to deliver critical business outcomes

Every service moment is an opportunity to solve, optimize, and delight

Customers increasingly demand higher service levels, and in critical industries, these demands have never been higher. These service levels ensure that companies with a strong service offer to stand out, while others may struggle and leave an opening for their competitors to exploit. This can be seen in the investment companies continue to make in field service management systems. However, transformative change also requires modernization of the associated field inventory management approaches, and for this to be successful, field service, operations, supply chain and central functions (e.g. Finance) need to unite if they’re to achieve lasting success.

Each function has its own objectives and drivers however a common goal is on delivering a great customer experience supported with high levels of customer satisfaction. Cost is also a driver, not least because old inventory approaches are falling apart at the edge, driving excess costs across field service, operations, inventory, and supply chain teams. Additionally, revenue is also likely to be at risk in companies with lower customer satisfaction measures.

This approach allows you to optimize your resources and deliver a great customer experience simply and consistently.

Supply Chain and Logistics

Ensuring on-time part availability in the field

However, to deliver customer satisfaction field teams need on-time access to parts, without this additional urgent orders are placed which add additional work to warehouse and distribution teams.
